Uberdata. And get rid of the Drag manifold. And get rid of the Deltagate if you have one.

If you can afford a turbo setup you can afford to wait a little longer to get a good engine management system IMO.

More precise fuel control + timing control + boost cut = worth waiting.

uberdata is just as good from posts i have read. but this again falls under ur preference. u want a finly tuned set-up for peak performance go with a engine management. u want somthing u can just beat on but might have constant problems just peice it together. also like stated above ditch drag manifold, and deltagate.

But why risk ******* it up if you can have uberdata for almost nothing?
